Sainte Marie-aux-Mines stock
Everything's unpacked, dried out, priced and ready. The new labels will be done soon, and then there can be a few new things to go out. This year's buying was largely topping up on big sellers, but I did find one or two novelties.
There's more Ethiopian opal, cockscomb oysters, agate geodes, small amethyst druzes, citrine druzes, woolly rhino teeth and bones, malachite, amber, brachiopods, pyrite cubes, garnet and carnelian necklaces, and French ammonites. New this time: tanzanite and apatite necklaces, Sarchosuchus teeth and a couple of meteorite wrist watches.
The prizes from this trip, though are two elephant bird eggs - click here to see them. Beautiful things...
